Chapter 1: Apples and Bones

The sun was beating down on top of the trees of the Sweet Apple Acres. A blur of rainbow was dodging between them with a girl of pink following in a steady skip. The rainbow blur slowed to a stop before a clearing within the apple grove. Dash was looking at the steep slope that started at her feet. Pinkie stopped beside her and they smiled at each other. They had already planned their prank for AJ and were heading in to set it up.

Pinkie grabbed Dash's hand and pulled her down the hill. They slid down barely keeping from falling down headfirst. When they reached the bottom of the hill they both laughed and beamed at each other. Pinkie let go of the hand she was still clutching and skipped forward. Dash hadn't moved yet and watched the swing in her friend’s hips. A small dreamy smile crept on to her face.

However her heart dropped and her blood turned cold as she heard the deep sturdy voice of Big Mac yelling out, "Look out!" Time seemed to stand still for Dash as she turned her head and saw a cart full of apples rapidly approaching Pinkie and picking up speed. She jumped into action and started sprinting towards her friend who had frozen up in fear. Dash pushed her self to run faster than she ever had before and she kept pushing despite her muscles protests. As soon as she was close enough she lunged towards Pinkie just as the cart was a few feet away.

She smiled when she saw she got her best friend out of the way. The smile was quickly morphed into an expression of pain as a scream left her delicate lips. The cart had just run over her right ankle. It stopped a few feet after crushing her limb. Pinkie ran to Dash's side and tried to comfort the girl who was in pain.

Big Mac soon showed up eyes wide and pants frantic as he leaned with his hands on his thighs. His jeans were scuffed up and his red plaid shirt was hanging open. He quickly took in the scene and quickly approached the girls. "Ms. Pinkie, we need to get her to the hospital." Pinkie nodded and moved aside. Big Mac gently leaned down and picked up the girl cradling her in his arms. He stood up and swiftly walked towards the farm with the pink girl following. They soon reached the house and the strong man laid the injured girl gently in the bed of the truck and let Pinkie climb in with her. They were soon off on their way towards town. Pinkie stared down at her friend with concern in her eyes and she leaned down and kissed the girl's forehead before whispering in her ear.

"Thank you for saving me Dashie. I promise to help you get better." The girl with the rainbow hair gave a weak smile before she passed out the last thing she saw was a pair of worried blue eyes.
